HOLDER FOR COMES.

Application filed September 12, 1928.

This invention relates to an improved holder for combs which combs are used in spaced relation in the hair and are used to establish a wave in the hair. These combs are usually placed parallel to each other on the sides of the head between the top of the head and the ears and are placed to cause a roll or wave between the combs by the spacing of the combs.

This invention relates to a holder for such combs, the holder engaging the upper and lower comb and comprises a thin metal strip curved to approximately conform to the side of the head and having a hook on one end. The strip is provided with a clip which slides on the strip and is held thereon by friction.

This friction is caused by a hook which has two functions as it bears at its back on the strip for holding the clip in place and it also engages a comb to hold it in place.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a section of the device with the strip shown in elevation and illustrating some combs and hair in position. Figure 2 is a front View of the holder and Figure 3 is a back view of the holder. the clip.

In Figure 1 I show a series of combs 10 placed in position in the hair 11. These combs are of the usual type used in waving the hair and are temporary attachments to be removed in a short time after the hair is waved.

The strip 12 is slightly curved to approximately fit along the side of the head and has a hook 13 on one end. The hook 13 is caught over the back of the top-most comb.

Figure 4 is an end view of Serial No. 305,341.

The clip 14 consists of a metal sheet bent to form the ears '15 at the ends, these ears 40 having slots 16 for the passage of the strip 10. The centre of the slip is bent out to form a hook 17. The hook'is arranged so that the rear face 18 is in line with or beyond the line of the openings 16 and it thus bears on the strip 10 to hold the clip in place on the strip by its friction.

The hook proper is secured under the edge of the lower comb which is faced toward the other combs.

WVhen the parts above described are attached the hands are used to push the combs toward the centre of the strip to space them to produce the desired wave. Then the parts are held in place by the hook13 on one end and the hook 17 on the clip at the other end.

It will be evident that various sizes of combs and an indeterminate number may be used to produce various styles in hair dressmg.

I claim: v 1. A holder for combs comprising a strip with a hook on one end and aclip sliding on the strip, the clip having a hook with its back edge bearing on the strip to form a frictional contact.

2. A' holder for combs comprising a curved flat metal strip with a hook on one end and a clip with ears at its ends, the ears having slits for the passage of the strip, the clip being bent outwardly to form a hook at its central portion with the back of the hook in line with the slits to form a friction grip when the clip is placed on the strip.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

ARTHUR PEDERSEN.
